DropletAI: deep learning-based classification of fluids with different ohnesorge numbers during non-contact dispensing

Abstract: The reliable non-contact dispensing of droplets in the pico- to microliter range is a challenging task. The dispensed drop volume depends on various factors such as the rheological properties of the liquids, the actuation parameters, the geometry of the dispenser, and the ambient conditions. Conventionally, the rheological properties are characterized via a rheometer, but this adds a large liquid overhead. Fluids with different Ohnesorge number values produce different spatiotemporal motion patterns during dispensing. Once the Ohnesorge number is known, the ratio of viscosity and surface tension of the liquid can be known. However, there exists no mathematical formulation to extract the Ohnesorge number values from these motion patterns. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are great tools for extracting information from spatial and spatiotemporal data. The current study compares seven different CNN architectures to classify five liquids with different Ohnesorge numbers. Next, this work compares the results of various data cleaning conditions, sampling strategies, and the amount of data used for training. The best-performing model was based on the ECOmini-18 architecture. It reached a test accuracy of 94.2% after training on two acquisition batches (a total of 12,000 data points)
